    M923A2 high EGT fix!

    Hey everyone. Been a while since I have posted. I wanted to share this with anyone having similar problems. Long post with information. Due to level of grease and contamination, unfortunately no pictures of the process. Picture of the truck is all I have for now (4th of July). I have a...

    CTIS issue

    Ok 5-tonners... 1991 M923A2. Factory CTIS was giving the 5-light blink, so I did the full manual controller conversion: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161829-Manual-CTIS-control-how-to Once I got it installed, I ran air through it. The dump valves opened and tires were...

    M939A2 lift pump replacement - part number 3936316

    When I brought my 923A2 home recently, it ran like a top. I got the thing parked, and it promptly died. I thought I ran it out of fuel, so I filled it using cans and reprimed the system. When I was priming, I noticed the fuel primer had some fuel weeping around the priming button. I decided...

    Flea's M923A2

    Years ago, I bought a M35A2. It was rough around the edges, but it was mine, and it was a strong runner with air assist steering. I sold it to a Vietnam veteran here local to me when I grew bored with it and wanted to do something else for a while. I regretted it since watching my truck drive...

    Back in the MV game!

    After a 5-year hiatus, I finally got back in a truck I have always wanted: an M923A2! I bought it from an individual outside of Atlanta, and after a once over, drove it 350 miles home with my buddy running chase car with my tools. We never had to fix the first thing! Of course, I got it home...

    Here we go again... *won't start*

    Well, looks like trouble on the horizon. Went out to move the Deuce so I could do a couple things I had planned. Earlier this evening a few MV friends showed up and I fired her up for them/let her idle for about 5-10 minutes. Before they left, shut it down and drained the air tanks, then...

    Anyone have info on the M32K-4A?

    I'm looking into one of these on GL to tow behind the deuce. Anyone have rough dimensions or anything? I wonder how it would tow on the open road, obviously under 60.

    S-280 shelter q's

    What does an S-280 weigh empty? I'm scheming on something for the Deuce and want to know if it's feasible or if it would slow to a crawl.

    BIG thanks to rockman and Blythewoodjoe

    First, a big thanks to rockman for selling me his old racks at a great price AND helping to install them. Made quick work of just dropping them in at his house today. Second, Blythewoodjoe, a BIG thanks for the impeccable spare tire (complete with nipples still on the tire!). You have NO idea...

    Brakes -- need some input

    Well, this past weekend, I did some work on the brakes on the truck, mostly preventive maintenance... inspecting lines and such. I check the Master Cylinder for fluid and it looked a bit low; I added a pint of DOT5. While under the truck, I noticed the brake pedal rubber stop wasn't keeping...

    Just a note...

    When you click on the "Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite" link in yellow towards the top next to the thread breakdown (linking to sub-forum and then thread), is takes you back to the main page. It used to take you back to the sub-forums list. Just curious if this was intentional and...

    M796 Bolster trailer

    Could it be towed with a SuperDuty F-250? Or is it too heavy unloaded to have no brakes? The trip would be mostly interstate. M796: http://news.webshots.com/album/482944913DQbzFh

    Login issues?

    Is there a timeout for being logged in currently? I have only been logged in for a few minutes (20 maybe?), and I've had to log back in again. Also, I have my login/pw fields auto-filled so I just have to click login on my end, but I received an error message saying "I have used one login...

    Curt 14082

    Well, my wife informed me on the phone that my hitch has finally arrived (of course, when I'm out of town for work :lol: ). I ordered the Curt 14082 like many others have on here, but I had a question and wanted a few opinions... I know it's a black powdercoat on the hitch, and that it's...

    Thinking more about 12 volts from the 24 volt system...

    What about using a speed controller from a golf cart? Theoretically speaking, you could use one designed for 24 volts and be able to get anywhere from 0-24 volts out of the controller. With ratings in the hundreds of amps, power supply wouldn't be a problem. The downside is you would have to...

    Where do you get your WMO/Transmission fluid?

    Everywhere around here is reluctant to give the stuff to Joe Blow because of EPA regs. All the shops say they have to show on paper where the stuff goes, and they have to sell/dispose to a reputable disposal company. What gives? Perhaps I should look in to becoming a non-profit "LLC" or...

    Yet another receiver hitch thread...

    Looking at this: http://www.etrailer.com/pc-weld-on-hitch~41990-07.htm Has anyone used a hitch like this? After pricing several hitches for a "80's Chevy C30," I was always unsatisfied with the results. Either it was 5K/8K weight or over $200. I thought this would be a better deal (I'd cut...

    Mutt wheels

    What is the overall diameter of a Mutt wheel/tire combo? Would it be feasible to use them in a civvy trailer application? I have a mil-themed idea, but don't want to give away the plan just yet... 8) I know the wheel bolt is a 5 x 5.5" pattern; what's the offset? Finally, does anyone have 5...

    Oil filter woes just about fixed...

    Well, some of you may remember, I had a gasket blowout on the base of my filters almost a month ago, and I was finally able to track down a canister bolt after one of mine broke while re-torquing. AlphaDeltaRomeo, you are officially added to my "heros" list. :lol: Since there wasn't a postage...

    Emergency! Part needed

    Does anyone have the bolt that holds down the oil filter canister? Mine sheared off today and I lost about 4 gallons of oil on the way home. I had to get my wife to come pull me home with a chain! Of course no where around here has the bolt, so can anyone point me in the right direction?
